Urban Sketching - Creating Expressive Drawings in Ink Line & Watercolour

The workshop is intended for beginner to intermediate artists wanting to explore ink line drawing enhanced with watercolour washes. It’s a technique used by urban sketchers and travel journalists alike. We’ll start with a line drawing and end up with something that looks like a painting.

Creating a line drawing sketch, b.) Adding black highlights, c.) Tinting the drawing with watercolour.
